Some good suggestions so far...
I would suggest a Bluesound Powernode 2i and a pair of Elac B5.2 speakers as a simple one-box $1000 system, but I hear that the Powernode's price is going to increase by $100 soon due to the tariffs. Maybe look for a used Powernode 2 (I would avoid the first generation). That said, if you already have a laptop or PC that you can use to stream, connect that to an NAD 3020 ($449) and there are a host of really great speakers in the $300 - 500 range (Elac, Monitor Audio, Wharfedale, etc.).
I've got a Powernode 2, Elac B5 speakers and S10 subwoofer in a second system (total cost <$1,200), and it is a very nice system to listen to.
